For how long is the Labor Certification Valid?
Generally, an approved LC is valid indefinitely
for a specific
employer, position, or job and location. If any
of these factors change, the LC may become a
useless document.
Under legislation passed in October 2000,
however, individuals
who have petitioned for adjustment of status
and whose cases have been pending for 180 days
or more may change jobs or employers without affecting
the validity of the petition or underlying LC, as long as the
new job is in "the same or a similar occupational classification"
to the job in the original petition and LC.
